Temporary section for those who attended Pop's memorial
service (Feb 23 2013)

Memories from a son unaccustomed as he is to public speaking:
I learned very early that Pop could do anything, and do
it best. Take scooping for example. When I
was a little kid, I watched Pop run across and scoop
up a toddler right in the path of a bunch of
big kids hurtling down the gigantic slide at Braddock Heights. Just
like Superman would have done. And I always knew that, no
matter how dark it was, or how murky the water, or
how much seaweed there was, or how quick or sneaky the
crab was, Pop would always "get his man." Never missed. Most
of the time a doubler.

Generosity, and a wager: Something my father did I bet you
never did - give away a house. The renters of the house in Baltimore had
been good tenants for so long that one day Pop asked
Mom, "Is it all right with you if we just give
them the house?" It took her by surprise, but Mom
caught her breath and came right back with, "Fine with me!"

Equal time from one who should know: "I really
don't believe there is another human being, now living, or who has lived
here in this world, who would have 'stuck it out' with me through all
that Benton has had to put up with and cope with as a result of being
married to me!" (Jane Sauter, Dec 1 1987.)
